Douluo Continent: The Twin Sons of the Styx River, Shaking the World and Destroying the Heavens

Chapter 187 The Training of the Butterfly

Wan Die is also an accomplice of Xia Die, representing the demigods of the Titans of Chaos.

Their combat strength is unknown, and Wan Die, Feng Jin, Di Bao, Di An, Di Ning, and even Xia Die herself are all from the same world.

Xia Die's current strength is still unknown.

It's better to fight someone you know well than someone you don't know, but soon they will pay the price for their choice.

Before entering the simulated battlefield, participants can choose to be randomly assigned to an area or choose their own combat location.

Wang Dong'er and the others did not hesitate to target Valley [406].

As they entered the area, they were greeted by rolling mountains, layer upon layer, encircling them. The valley was like a secluded place tightly embraced by the mountains, its unique terrain making it an excellent hiding place.

This valley is extremely vast, with towering peaks reaching into the clouds, almost completely blocking out the scorching sun and creating a deep and tranquil atmosphere, adding a touch of mystery and tension to the upcoming operation.

Xia Die stood upright opposite the crowd, holding a gleaming scythe. Her amethyst-like eyes swept over her opponents, and a faint smile curved her lips: "Don't let your mind wander for the next second."

Wang Dong'er and the others nodded in unison and began fighting Xia Die.

Their departments weren't perfect.

Jiu Li, Wang Dong'er, Yuan Chuan, Yuan Yan, and Bai Xiuxiu are all offensive types, while Ye Yukesi and Xiao Xiao are control types, combining control and support. So relatively speaking, it's quite easy.

Jiu Li let out a sudden, low shout, his spear surging forward like a dragon emerging from the abyss, thrusting towards Xia Die first. At the same time, he unleashed his first soul skill without hesitation—Crimson Flame Slash! In an instant, scorching soul power surged forth, transforming into a dazzling blade wreathed in raging flames. Flames surged and burned on the blade's surface, carrying scorching heat and a fierce aura, like a roaring fire beast charging towards Xia Die, igniting the air in its wake.

Xia Die remained calm, slightly raising her scythe to meet the blazing blade wreathed in intense flames with an almost nonchalant air. Metal and fire collided with a deafening roar, scattering blinding sparks, yet the scythe's blade acted like an impenetrable barrier, completely deflecting the crimson flame attack. The scorching flames dissipated three feet in front of her, leaving her utterly unharmed.

Xia Die is not just a simple envoy. Now, she no longer has the concept of a martial soul. Her martial soul has left her body, and her body is covered with laws.

Moreover, having already become the outline of the [Star God], turning his own incarnation into a remnant of the Star God, he can, in reality, also be called the [Star God], because he can at any time.

All the souls within her body have become [Commanders], because the [Law Star God] has already been determined and has joined all the destinies.

Xia Die lightly tapped the blade of her scythe with her fingertips, sending up a string of tiny sparks. She glanced down at the dissipating crimson embers, a disdainful smile curving her lips: "Jiu Li, I advise you to show your true skills. This little attack is nothing. Let me show you what an attack really is."

"A Flower in the Underworld - Granted the Ultimate Rift!"

Xia Die's voice was soft and gentle, but the scythe in her hand suddenly burst forth with a dazzling purple light, and a terrifying aura of death surged out like a tide.

Her purple eyes gleamed with a bright, eerie light as she swung her scythe. In an instant, a gigantic moon blade, imbued with an intense aura of death, pierced the sky. Its purple light tore through the heavens, its length almost covering the entire firmament. Wherever it passed, the air shrieked, as if even space itself was being shattered by this deathly light.

!!!

Is this really just Xia Die's first soul skill?

What they had previously seen was merely an insignificant crescent blade, but now it had transformed into a colossal, deathly light that blotted out the sky. Xiao Xiao's pupils constricted sharply, and she hastily activated the Three Lives Soul-Suppressing Cauldron, sending it flying. An amber-colored defensive shield enveloped everyone like a dome. However, against this crescent blade imbued with the aura of death, the defense was as fragile as paper.

The moon blade pierced straight through the defenses, slamming heavily into Xiao Xiao's companions behind her. The group hastily counterattacked, but the barrier formed by their protective power proved utterly ineffective against the force of death.

Boom——!
A deafening roar shattered the valley, the Blade of Death exploded, and a surge of immense energy swept across like a tsunami, tearing five jagged spatial rifts into the ground, each five meters long. Distant mountains were cleaved in two, and rubble rained down like a storm.

Xia Die stood with her sickle on her back, her expression indifferent—that earth-shattering attack just now was merely a casual gesture from her; if she had used her full strength, this attack would have been enough to crush a star into dust.

Wang Dong'er stood up. She hadn't expected Xia Die's first soul skill to be so powerful. "Ah Die, you went too far. Couldn't you have gone a little easier?" Wang Dong'er said.

"I'm already very light; the power I just experienced is less than a tenth of what it used to be."

Looking at the devastated battlefield, Wang Dong'er frowned slightly and said reproachfully, "A-Die, you went too far! Couldn't you have been a little gentler?"

Xia Die flicked the pebbles off her scythe, a gentle smile appearing in her purple eyes: "Is this considered ruthless? That move just now wasn't even a tenth of my true power." She raised her hand and made a gesture, and the lingering aura of death in the air condensed into tiny purple rays that returned to Xia Die's scythe.

!!!

Upon hearing this, everyone was shaken to their core, a chill ran down their spines, and they couldn't help but gasp. That terrifying attack that could cleave mountains and tear through space was merely a casual act by Xia Die? If she had unleashed her full power, what a horrifying sight it would be! Just imagining it sent shivers down everyone's spines, a chill running down their spines.

Xia Die's lips curved into a gentle smile, her voice sweet and warm: "Alright, today's training isn't over yet, let's continue."

However, these words, when they reached the ears of the crowd, were as chilling as a venomous snake's hiss. Her lowered purple eyes seemed to conceal a dark glint, and the oppressive feeling surging beneath that gentle smile was more terrifying than any fierce words—everyone understood that the "training" to come would be an even more brutal trial.

“The mournful cry falls like rain.”

With a flick of her wrist, Xiaodie gracefully floated into the air, landing steadily in the void. The scythe in her hand hummed and trembled, its purple light suddenly surging, dyeing the entire sky a deep purple. This attack was completely different from any before.

Wang Dong'er's pupils constricted sharply—she had only seen this move a few times before, as sparse as a drizzle. Now, however, a gigantic crack filled with starlight suddenly appeared in the sky, and quantum and death forces surged and roared within it. The next second, countless giant meteorites wrapped in purple flames crashed down like a meteor shower, pouring down with a world-destroying force, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Wang Dong'er soared into the sky, and in an instant, her martial soul form underwent a dramatic transformation—no longer the familiar Goddess of Light Butterfly, but instead, the more domineering Dragon God of Light Butterfly. After the transformation, she was breathtakingly beautiful, and her entire aura underwent a complete metamorphosis.

The original blue-gold butterfly wings suddenly transformed into dazzling colors, their streamlined structure exuding both power and beauty. A soft yet radiant light burst forth from her body, causing the forewings to split in two, creating two pairs of wings, while the hindwings slid downwards to make room for the new form. Stunningly, the butterfly wings continued to extend and transform within the light, gradually taking the shape of miniature dragon wings. Finally, six gleaming golden dragon wings fully unfurled, spreading across the void like the wings of a god.

These six dragon wings are brilliantly colored, with a bright blue glow near the back, gradually transitioning to a dazzling gold along the wingspan towards the edges. The wavy wing edges shimmer with a hazy golden halo, retaining both the softness of butterfly wings and the majesty of the dragon race.

Her stunning beauty remained unchanged, her long, pinkish-blue hair cascading down like a waterfall, yet it seemed to have been imbued with new life—each strand was crystal clear, as if sculpted from crystal, and the flowing pinkish-blue halo resembled a dreamlike neon light. As her six dragon wings fully unfurled, her figure suddenly grew taller, her slender body tightly enveloped in a seven-colored radiance, with fine, multicolored dragon scales appearing and disappearing, extending from her feet to her chin. Only her head remained unchanged, but she wore a strangely shaped headband. In the center of the headband, a lifelike golden dragon head adorned two small butterfly wings on either side.

"Third Soul Skill - Light Dragon God Slash!"

Wang Dong'er swung her arm, and the dazzling power of light surged like a reversed Milky Way, condensing into a gigantic blade that blotted out the sky. The blinding light shot straight into the heavens, and the space trembled wherever it passed. The blade crashed down, and several purple meteorites instantly shattered into dust, but many more meteor fragments still fell, carrying the power of death.

At the critical moment, Bai Xiuxiu's body was filled with a surge of cold energy, and her fourth soul ring suddenly shone with a dazzling blue light.

In mid-air, a swallowing vortex radiating a ghostly blue halo rapidly expanded, its chilling aura solidifying into a tangible form. As the vortex spun wildly, the falling meteorites were instantly frozen, transforming into crystalline ice shards suspended in the void, their sharp, deathly aura also frozen within the ice.

Wang Dong'er hovered in mid-air, raising the corners of her mouth in a provocative manner: "Ah Die, your attacks are nothing special."

Xia Die's lips curled into an inscrutable smile: "Really? Dong'er, do you know about Ice Explosion?"

"Isn't that Meng Hongchen's move? Why are you asking?" Before Wang Dong'er could finish speaking, her expression suddenly changed: "Oh no, get out of the way!"

"Too late." Xia Die flicked her fingertips, and the meteorite that Bai Xiuxiu had frozen suddenly expanded.

In an instant, the entire valley was swallowed by a purple death storm—a deafening roar shattered the clouds, and waves of energy carrying quantum power surged like a tsunami, with wisps of death energy seeping from the purple mist.

Everyone hastily retreated, and even those who managed to avoid the center of the explosion were still hit by the aftershocks. Yuan Chuan stood frozen in place, his body flickering uncontrollably as quantum entanglement solidified his martial spirit, rendering him unable to move. The others, too, were being eroded by death, with strange dark purple patterns appearing on their bodies.
